Leisure Activities

There is plenty to see and do around the Fowey Estuary, visit our local events page to find out more about the many organised events going on in the area.

Here is just a selection of things to do whilst in Fowey:

Sailing - Fowey is ideally situated for a sail just outside the harbour in St Austell Bay or a passage to Plymouth or Falmouth. Yacht and dinghy racing takes place on Wednesday evenings and Saturday afternoons during the season

Getting afloat - local operators offer hire boats for hourly, daily or weekly hire. There are also kayaks to hire or go on a guided paddle and also the popular stand-up paddleboards.

Angling & Fishing - there are local fishing regulations in place and rod fishing is not permitted from pontoons in the interests of safety

Walking - from a gentle stroll along the Esplanade on a warm summer's evening or a walk along the coast path, then there's something for everyone to enjoy around the Fowey Estuary
